The Rumours Thread

[willzyy91]

f**king f**king.. that was not in my list of 3 players we were after.. is there a 4th spot opening perhaps.. surely this guy means no JAC.

Rugby 7's player of the year, tall, quick and strong! I mean that's a pretty good signing if he can quickly adapt.

We have reportedly signed reigning Australia 7’s player of the year Nathan Lawson on a 2 yr deal

He is a forward, a flanker. Also can play centre. 6' 2". 94 kg.

Probably a development deal

 

[Jubilee]

Flanno appears to be building a team with lots of overlap. Players who can play well in multiple positions.This is something Canterbury have also done the last couple of years.

I suppose part of the idea is to make the team resistant to injuries. And ofc, lots of competition for positions and no way "important" or "key" players can get big headed and blackmail the team (which we are familiar with.)

Not necessarily. He doesn’t count against cap if I’m correct.

Just need a slot for JAC. We moved on a lot of players, so the cap space is ample. We’ve come out in front with Lomax and Hunts replacements.

Front load Rava and Laurie on the cap whatever they’re paying Lawson.

Ger em off the books.

FOUR CLUB RACE FOR HUNT'S SIGNATURE​

In demand halfback Ben Hunt is reportedly set to snub a chance to return to Queensland, instead it’s emerged his preference is to remain in Sydney as the race for his signature heats up.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the door is now open for both the Roosters and Bulldogs to make a play for his services, despite interest from the Broncos and Dolphins.
Tricolours powerbrokers are reportedly set to sit down with Hunt and his management regarding a potential move to the powerful Sydney club.
Brisbane bosses have also reportedly made enquiries to recruit him for next season.
Meanwhile, the NRL newcomers and Kristian Woolf reportedly have $1.3 million in their salary cap to spend for the 2025 season.

The Dolphins are reportedly keen to sit down with the experienced playmaker to discuss a potential move for his services, however a return to Queensland now looms as unlikely.

Hunt’s reportedly happy to remain in NSW, with his family wanting to remain in Sydney if he receives a deal that he’s happy to accept.

With Hunt being linked to the Bulldogs, current halfback Toby Sexton has reportedly requested a meeting with supremo Phil Gould.

He’s reportedly seeking clarity regarding his own position, and the young halfback remains without a deal beyond the 2025 season, hopeful of extending his stay.

However, his time in Belmore could reportedly come to an end if Hunt arrives at the club, while the Roosters have also reportedly held internal discussions regarding a move for the former Dragons’ services.

Michael Maguire and the Broncos can reportedly only afford to offer a salary of around $500,000, with their cap squeezed thin.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins are the team able to table the biggest deal, and Hunt’s now preparing to sit down with potential suitors after finishing commitments with the Australia outfit.

Nathan Lawson Rugby 7s has signed for 2 years

No need for JAC now, and I think if we get players from Union it doesnt count into our salary cap, if he is as good as what they say he is , it puts a lot of others on notice, well done again Flanno.

 

[Jubilee]

Not necessarily. He doesn’t count against cap if I’m correct.

Wait, what? If true damn, Flanno.

Surprise surprise surprise, what a weasel, now he's happy to stay in NSW, one can only imagine the weather has drastically improved in NSW to make him feel comfortable. Hope we can look at Sexton as well if he goes to the dogs.

We can blame Griffin for Lomax. The damage Griffin did to the Saints was incredible. A better coach would have put Hunt in place, moved heaven and earth to keep the leaders in McInness & Sims and had more control over his players with no BBQ's during covid. He was a complete fool who destroyed the Dragons to make it all about him and Hunt and brought in all his mates from Qld and hasbeens. Lomax wanted to leave last season because of Griffin which by then was too late as decision was made and Parra pounced. They were talking to him from last year filling his head with all these promises.

SFlanno will be the best signing Saints have made since Bennet left. He will bring the team back up to be a finals contender for years to come.

Was listening to an interview with Aaron Woods last week and he said Griffin was the worst coach he's ever had. Said communication was non existent and on the day of the captains run he was more interested in the BBQ than the training. I was no fan of the Woods signing in the first place but he said Griffin didn't even have the guts to talk to him to tell him he'd been swapped for 2 Manly players, he was too busy stuffing his face with Chinese food sitting next to Haran at the Taj. He found out afterwards from his manager.
Rings true with the story from Lomax that Griffin gave him zero feedback when he dropped him.

Griffin was a monumental disaster and we should never forget the incompetence and neglect the board showed by re-hiring Griffin, let alone the long term damage to the club that was caused.

Ive heard of Cody Ramsay before, my dad told me he was a great young fullback that developed hes game really well (Im pretty sure), what does everyone else think? he seems like he has some skill but what do you guys think? and if he comes back would he slot into the team anywhere?

Belmore and Bondi are in QLD?? Lying piece of crap.

At the very least, it would be more negotiating leverage for Flanno.

Cody was a future champion. No, he won't be back.

Toby Sexton is not the answer.
